About CranioSacral Work and the Workshop
CranioSacral Work (CSW) is a gentle, yet powerful holistic healing modality that optimizes the flow of energy throughout the body. By restoring the natural movement of the fluids, tissues, and bones, the Practitioner assists the Partner to release painful or restricted conditions anywhere in the System. CranioSacral work accesses the Client’s inner wisdom and innate healing capacity to calm the mind, harmonize the emotions, and support physical well-being. The meditative states that occur with CranioSacral work facilitate a deeper mind-body-spirit connection that is healing and deeply rejuvenating on all levels for both Practitioner and Partner.
